Guest Blog Appearance

A special thanks goes to Natalie Rotunda for her invitation to be a guest on her blog.  You can read it here.  http://theorganicpantry.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/yes-you-have-time-to-garden-by-linda-larson/ It was a fun piece to write since it got me thinking about spring.  Ah, spring.  With high temperatures currently ten degrees below normal, I think we're all ready for some warmer weather.  This photo of forget-me-nots is a reminder of the warm days ahead. 

It's not spring yet

But I dream of warmer temperatures and the first spring flowers, like this Siberian squill from a different spring. Somewhere under the ice, the bulbs are ready to grow.  In book news, I had an interview over at the Albany Enterprise office with Emily Gruenke.  She is writing a piece about my garden and books for the March 31 Home and Garden edition of the Shopper.  Shameless plug--be sure to pick up a copy! Here's their website http://www.albanyenterprise.com/

My New Gardening Book!

First, I want to thank all you who have been loyal readers of my blog and those of you who have been so supportive of my writing.  This book could not have happened without you.  I truly appreciate the kind words.

Though the title says one year, this book has been years in the making.  After many ups and downs and lots of hard work, my book is now available. (Insert happy dance here!) Click on this blog's page "A Year in My Garden" for a description.

It is available here now.  https://www.createspace.com/4158226

Here is the amazon link.  https://www.amazon.com/author/llarson

I wish that the paper version wasn't so pricy, but full color and paper are expensive.  Yet the e-book is more affordable.  Here are the prices: 

ISBN print 978-0-9889467-1-2 $25.95

ISBN e-book 978-0-9889467-0-5 $4.95
